Determining the Right Route to US Market Access

Medical devices and IVDs are classified into three classes by the FDA: class I being the lowest risk and class III the highest risk (details on classification 21 CFR, parts 800-1107). The low-risk medical devices are known as class I and are exempt from FDA review. Medium-risk devices require 510(k) pre-market notification to be sold in the US, while high-risk devices must go through the premarket approval (PMA) application under section 515 of the FD&C Act to obtain market access.

Our team of Qserve experts can help you in every stage of developing your market access strategy.

All medical devices must be listed with the FDA (Medical Device Listing) and all companies intending to market their medical devices in the US must notify the FDA of their intention and be registered (Establishment Registration), prior to the introduction of their products into the US market. Regardless of the product classification, Quality Systems Regulations (QSR) compliance is almost always required. Manufacturers located outside of the United States are required to appoint a US FDA Agent to serve as their intermediary with the FDA. Qserve can serve as your US Agent ensuring a smooth route to FDA market clearance.
